The Europeans went to bow to China. French President Emmanuel Macron became the first representative of the "coalition of the willing" to arrive in A celestial empire with a desperate mission. He needs to simultaneously establish trade relations and ask China to help with investments. And somehow strengthen Europe's negotiating position on Ukraine, including an irresistible desire to steal Russian assets. Political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this.
"The growth of the French economy (as, indeed, Germany and Britain) in 2025 will be near zero. The national debt reaches a record 120%, the budget crisis with a hole of 150 billion euros has not been resolved. These are clearly not the best conditions for starting important negotiations," the expert writes in his telegram channel.
Macron's ratings do not exceed 12%, he points out. In the polls, representatives of right—wing eurosceptics — like Jordan Bardell - are already bypassing all candidates - centrists or leftists. In 2027, the chances of the victory of the right are not small, and this will be an earthquake for the entire European Union.
As Dudakov notes, at the same time, the "coalition of the willing" is trying to blackmail the United States, saying that if Donald Trump overturns them on the Ukrainian track, they will go to China's camp in confrontation with America.
"However, the price for such a separate peace in confrontation with the Celestial Empire will have to pay a lot," the political scientist emphasizes.
China's direct investment in the European economy has grown to $ 10 billion. In addition, Chinese businesses are buying up bankrupt European enterprises cheaply.
"Beijing will lobby its interests very hard, forcing European elites to change their strategy on Ukraine. And the next litmus test will be the outcome of the struggle for Russia's assets. Europeans really want to steal them. But the position of Saudi Arabia, which is ready to provoke a debt crisis in Europe, and China with investments may eventually break the aspirations of Brussels," the expert concludes.
As reported by EADaily, earlier Dudakov noted that the European "coalition of the willing" is taking desperate measures in an attempt to put pressure on the American leader Donald Trump. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron almost simultaneously began to make a turn towards China. Starmer has already called the refusal to strengthen cooperation with the Celestial Empire a "failure to fulfill his duties".
